OK, let's crack this. We're given 383 and our task is to multiply it by 9. Essentially, we'll be adding 383 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 383 = 383
Step 2: 383 + 383 = 766
Step 3: 766 + 383 = 1149
Step 4: 1149 + 383 = 1532
Step 5: 1532 + 383 = 1915
Step 6: 1915 + 383 = 2298
Step 7: 2298 + 383 = 2681
Step 8: 2681 + 383 = 3064
Step 9: 3064 + 383 = 3447

So, 383*9 = 3447
